1Introduction
Note: these instructions should be read carefully and retained for future reference. Please
leave these instructions with the user.
There are two models of the Spectra Frameless:
•Spectra Frameless with steelplated interior
•Spectra Frameless Nostalgic with bricklining
This manual covers both models. Both are developed to be installed in 3 ways:
•Frameless in an existing builders opening or false chimney breast
•in combination with the Jellum surround
•in combination with the Wirdum surround
Specific information about the installation of both surrounds can be found in the
installation guide delivered with the Jellum and Wirdum surround. Details concerning the
installation of the appliance in relation to the surrounds are explained in this installation
guide.
Special features:
•Realistic flame and glow effect because of the "Log Burner" technology
•Room sealed appliance, inlet and outlet are led to the outside using a natural
draught concentric pipe system (100 mm/150 mm) (no power fan required)
•Air supply and flue-gases go to outside atmosphere through wall or roof. A
maximum horizontal extension of 6 meters is possible
•Remote Control standard on both models
•Meets the requirements of the European Gas Appliance Directive (GAD) and carries
the CE mark

3Installation requirements
Note: Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of
importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home. Due
to the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building
materials, carpet etc. will be attracted to the lit appliance. These components can settle
onto cold surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed
too near the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind
when installing the appliance.
3.1 Builders opening and surround
The appliance can be installed in the following situations:
In a non-combustible fireplace or builders opening. This could be either an existing
builders opening or a new made prefab builders opening.
In both cases keep the following in mind:
•do not place the appliance on combustible materials or carpets
•the (false) chimney breast has to be made of non-combustible material (e.g.
Promatect)
•do not place the lintel, surround or marble stone directly onto the appliance. If
possible, apply a lintel made of cement or something similar
•always ventilate the space above the appliance. Use a Faber ventilation grid
•to avoid cracking, the plaster has to dry for at least 1 day per millimetre plaster
•to avoid discolouring the plaster has to be heat resistant to min. 100 °C
•in case of a surround the front of the appliance has to stick sufficiently out of the
wall:
oJellum surround: 50mm
oWirdum surround: 166mm

3.3 Flue requirements
The appliance is of the type C11/C31. The appliance will need to be supplied with the
approved Faber flue pipes and terminal, it is not possible to supply your own. The
minimum effective height of the flue system must be 0,5 or 1 meter, depending on the
appliance.
Flue routing:
•a horizontal extension with elbows is allowed for a maximum of 6 meters
(depending on the routing)
•vertical max. 12 meters
Determine, depending on the type and terminal position, if the desired routing is possible.
To establish this you will need to calculate:
The effective height (this is the real difference in height between the upper side of
the appliance and the terminal)
The total horizontal extension. This is the total horizontal flue length where:
1. each elbow, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 2 meters
2. each 90-degree bend, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 2 meter
3. each 45-degree bend, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 1 meter
4. elbows and bends at the transition from horizontal to vertically are not to
be counted
5. the wall mounted terminal counts for 1 meter
Flue restrictor
If applicable, in the table is also stated the size of a flue restrictor. This restrictor needs
to be fitted in the combustion chamber when placing the appliance (see chapter 4.2).
Normally the smallest flue restrictor is fitted at production.

Example calculation 1:
Calculating horizontal extension fig. 2a:
Flue lenght C + E = 1m + 1m 2 m
Elbows D = 2m 2 m
Total horizontal extension 4 m
Measure or calculate effective height (Hvert)
Flue lenght A 1 m
Roof mounted terinal 1 m
Total effective height 2 m
When calculating table 2: It is allowed.
Remove the flue restrictor!
Example calculation 2:
Calculation horizontal extension fig. 2b:
Flue lenght J + L = 0,5 + 0,5 1 m
Elbows K + M = 2m + 2m 4 m
Terminal 1m
Total horizontal extension 6 m
Calculation effective height (Hvert)
Flue lenght H 1 m
When calculating table nr. 2: Combination not
allowed.

Determining of the right flue restrictor
Calculate the total horizontal- and vertical
length of the flue, according to the
calculations displayed above.
Determine according to the table the right
flue restrictor size.
When meeting an X, and when the values are
outside the table, the combination is not
allowed.
Normally the 30 mm flue restrictor is
preinstalled.
3.3.1 Terminal position
Verify if the required terminal position meets the local installation regulations regarding
disturbance, good performance and ventilation. (Also see: safety requirements).
The terminal must be located so that the outlet is not obstructed. If the flue
terminal is located within 2 meters of a footway, path or where people could come
into contact with it, then a suitable terminal guard must be fitted.
Terminals located close to shared walkways, footpaths etc. could be subject to
legal constraints and this should be pointed out to the customer before installation.
If in any doubt about flue location advice should be sought from local building
control, or if appliance-related, from the manufacturer including wherever possible
a detailed sketch showing all relevant dimensions.
Avoid locating the terminal in close proximity to plastic materials such as gutters or
other combustible materials. If this is unavoidable then a suitable deflector should
be made.
Some important requirements for good performance are: The wall-mounted terminal
has to be at least 0,5 m off:
Corners of the building
Below eaves
Balcony's etc. unless the duct is dragged to the front side of the overhanging part
The roof mounted terminal has to be at a distance of at least 0.5 meters of the
sides of the roof, excluded the ridge

3.3.2 Using an existing chimney as air inlet
You can connect the appliance onto an existing chimney. The existing chimney then
functions as air supply, where a flexible stainless steel liner (to BS715) of 100 mm performs
the flue function.
Requirements:
Any existing chimney used as an air supply must only service this appliance.
A chimney that has previously been used for solid fuel must be swept before use.
The existing chimney needs to be airtight.
The existing chimney needs to have an opening of min. 150 x 150 mm.
The chimney needs to be intact and well looked after.
Use the Faber adjustable roof-mounted-terminal especially made for this purpose, and the
chimney connection set.
The min. distance between two terminals should be at least 450 mm.

5Installation of the flue
5.1 Connection with use of concentric duct material
Make a hole of ø 153 mm for the wall or roof mounted terminal
The horizontal pipes need to rise at an angle from the appliance at the rate of 3
degrees per metre
Build the system starting from the appliance
Make sure you place the pipes in the right direction, the narrow end towards the
appliance.
Make sure the pipes are fixed sufficiently, a wall clamp every 2m, so the weight of
the pipes is not resting onto the appliance.
The outside of the pipe can become hot (140 degrees). Stay 50 mm away from wall
surface or sealing. Make sure to provide sufficiently heat resistant isolation when
going through the wall or roof.
Because of expansion or cooling down the concentric pipes can become loose. It is
recommended to fix the spring clip with a self tapping screw at inaccessible places.
To get the exact measure flue length you can use cut down concentric pipe, wall
mounted terminal or roof mounted terminal. To obtain a smoke sealed connection,
the inner pipe must be 20 mm longer then the outside pipe.
5.2 Connection onto an existing chimney
You can connect the appliance onto an existing chimney. The existing chimney then
functions as air supply, where a flexible stainless steel liner (to BS715) of 100 mm performs
the flue function.
Requirements:
Enough free space above the appliance
The chimney only supply’s air to this appliance
The existing chimney needs to be clean and very well swept
The existing chimney needs to be airtight
The existing chimney needs to have an opening of min. 150 x 150 mm

grommet into the hole of the
sealing plate.
5. Fix the sealing plate air tight into
the builders opening (use
insulation rope from the chimney
connection set to make the plate
air tight).
6. Slide pipe (E) into the sealing
plate. Slide this pipe so that you
have enough space later on to
assemble the liner.
7. Install the appliance.
8. Connect the flexible stainless
steel liner onto the appliance
using the 100mm pipe (F) as
adapter.
9. If the distance from the flue outlet to the sealing plate is bigger then 300 mm, you
have to use a concentric pipe first.
10. Slide the outside pipe onto the appliance or concentric extension so that you have a
air tight connection.

6Commissioning (functional checks)
6.1 Pilot ignition check
•Ignite the pilot light as described in the user manual.
•Check if the pilot burner stays alight.
•Extinguish the pilot burner.
6.2 Check functional burner and pilot burner
The appliance is preset to give the correct heat input. No further adjustment is necessary.
Always check the inlet pressure and burner pressure:
•Turn off the gas valve on the appliance;
•Turn the inlet pressure test point B and apply the manometer;
•Check if the measured pressure is the same as the prescribed pressure;
•Perform this measuring when the appliance burns on full capacity and when only
the pilot ignition burns;
•When the pressure is too low, check if the gas pipes are made of material with the
right diameter;
•When the pressure is too high (more than 5 mbar overpressure) you can’t install the
appliance and you should contact your gas company;
•Always check the burner pressure when the functional pressure is right;
•Open the burner pressure test point C;
•The pressure should match the described pressure. If this is not the case, then
contact the supplier.
Note: After checking the burner pressure, the inlet pressure test point has to be shut and
checked for gas-tightness.
